Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

  I’m using Kate now, but from my experience NPP has a lot more features built in for which I actually have to write some scripts to use with Kate. NPP has really strong encoding encoding and schema manipulation features and a robust plugin system.

  If NPP had a native linux build, I’d go back to it in a heartbeat.

  I have to live with Windows at work so that’s where I use Notpad++. I’m fine with Kate at home.

    Why not use something like Nvim on both?

      I’m too old to learn vim escape game. I’m glad I can do :q :-D

  Because I’ve been using it for over 20 years?

    Fair enough. You were just listing some KDE default apps but not others, and my experience with Kate has been great so was just curious.

      I like Kate, although it’s not far away from VSCodium, so might as well just use that for everything.

        This is where I’m at. I may use a second note taking app, but I’ve always got vscodium up anyway, so may as well just make 1 more tab (probably in the 2nd window tho)
